There's no need to be hostile about it. CelticTiger may not have read the earlier discussion.Quote:

This, I do completely agree with.Quote:

But we won't, because the attendance always falls away. Just the way.
Okay, here's a figure that might mean something. Last year the average attendence for the league was 1,769 after 3 rounds. This year, it's 1,494. That's an overall fall in crowds of over 15%. It's not that meaningful - there hasn't been a full round of games played (i.e. 9 games in the Premier, 11 in the first), but let's not kid ourselves that everything's getting better.Quote:

Plus they're all PD teams. I'd wager Shels bring more away fans around the country than Bray...
I'm not sure what the "usual notes" are.Quote:

Attendance was announced as 626 (which I imagined would be the official figure, but I could be wrong), which was exactly 100 more than the previous home game against Mervue. I can't see either of those figures there.
The average of 526 and 626 (the figures you claim for your matches) is 576, so I'm guessing that he added those together and divided by two to obtain an mean (or "average"), those being the things he records.Quote:

And reading the shockingly schoolboy match report, I'd have trouble believing aything that 'reporter' said
The standard of journalism on that website is fairly poor. Those attendances are definitely guesstimates. Like most on here.Quote:
